bit in PTE.
Enable Access Flag in CPU control. With AF enabled each valid mapping
needs to have referenced bit in PTE set in order to be able to cache
it in the TLB.
AP[0] bit is to be used as reference flag.
All access permissions are encoded by AP[2:1] wherein AP[1] is in fact
"user enable" and AP[2](APX) is "write disable".
All mappings are always set to be valid. Reference emulation is performed
by setting/clearing reference flag in PTE.
md.pvh_attrs are no longer necessary however pv_flags are still being used
for now.
Marking vm_page as "dirty" or "referenced" is being performed on:
- page or flag fault servicing in pmap_fault_fixup(), basing on the fault
type
- vm_fault servicing in pmap_enter() according to the desired protections
and faulty access type
Redundant page marking has been removed as on ARM we know exactly when the
particular page is referenced or is going to be written.

Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms
o recognize ixp435 cpu
o change memory layout for for ixp4xx to not assume memory is aliases
to 0x10000000 (Cambria/ixp435 memory starts at zero)
o handle 64 irqs for ixp435
o dual EHCI USB 2.0 controller integral to ixp435
o overhaul NPE code for ixp435 and better MAC+MII naming
o updated NPE firmware (including NPE-A image for ixp435/ixp465)
o Gateworks Cambria board support:
- IDE compact flash
- MCU
- front panel LED on i2c bus
- Octal LED latch
Sanity-tested with NFS-root on Avila and Cambria boards. Requires
pending boot2 mods for CF-boot on Cambria.
It only supports sa1110 (on simics) right now, but xscale support should come
soon.

Most of this comes from NetBSD.
